“Marketplace customers can now punch out to Cureline’s webstore, browse through its regularly updated catalog of available human biospecimens with linked de-identified clinical data, and then purchase the items in their cart back on Scientist.com.”—Kevin Lustig, PhD, Scientist.com’s Founder and CEO.

Scientist.com, the healthcare industry’s leading marketplace for life science research, and Cureline, a leading global contract research organization (CRO) providing biobanking and human sample services to the biopharmaceutical industry, have partnered to offer researchers faster access to high-quality biospecimens. A direct link has been created between the Scientist.com marketplace and Cureline’s new online webstore, which gives users near instant access to a wide range of qualified human biospecimens.

“Cureline is a global leader in the procurement, management and analysis of human tissues,” said Kevin Lustig, PhD, Scientist.com’s Founder and CEO. “Marketplace customers can now punch out to Cureline’s webstore, browse through its regularly updated catalog of available human biospecimens with linked de-identified clinical data, and then purchase the items in their cart back on Scientist.com.”

Cureline provides high-quality, well characterized human biospecimens and tissue-related services to the biomedical research community, allowing accelerated identification and validation of drug targets, development of companion diagnostic tests and the discovery and development of biomarker assays. Cureline collaborates with leading clinical and research centers in the USA, Europe and Asia on human tissue acquisition, processing and distribution.

“Scientist.com has already proven that an online marketplace can make research in the life sciences more efficient and less costly,” said Olga Potapova, PhD, Founder and CEO at Cureline. “Our new punchout further improves these benefits because every transaction is handled through the Scientist.com platform, so there is no need for separate accounts or logins, or any additional legal agreements.”
